Captain Marvel "Show 'em what we got!" - Samuel L. Jackson is Nick Fury

[Silvermoth]

I hope he says “I’m getting too old for this s*** at least once. He looks amazing by the way

 

[Webfoot Hero]

By these photos, it looks like she's already been to outer space and has returned to Earth with little time having gone by. Really interested in the timeline for this one.

So would this be before or after Bogota?

 

[Aximili86]

Given the Rock The Vote posters people have pointed out, seems pretty likely this'd be '91 or '92. Assuming it's not another timeline/reference fart like Homecoming and they're there for a reason, anyway.

So around the same time for sure, probably just after. '92 sounds about right.

 

[Silvermoth]

I wonder if fury has a wife?

 

[Aximili86]

Some big cheesy speech about "I'm married to the life, if S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted me to have a bride they'd have issued me one" etc.

Would be a nice surprise if we got a Robert Redford cameo then where he is de-aged.

 

[Aximili86]

Yeah. Can't see it happening, but I guess they kept the

Spoiler

Red Skull

thing completely quiet, so anything can happen. He'd fit the timeline and themes/organizations perfectly, although you'd wonder given Fury still trusts him at this point why Nick would keep all the alien stuff close to the chest.

Redford did seem like a one-and-done guy though.

Even just a throwaway reference/name-drop from Nick would be nice though, some reference to "my boss" or "the guy who got me this job" or whatever.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Redford isn't showing up as he has retired from acting.

 

[Aximili86]

Uhh, according to imdb he acted in two films just last year and has another one completed this year. The "retirement" stuff is like "the last KISS tour ever!" sort of thing, they break it.

But yep, agreed he's not back. Seemed really one-and-done with TWS, and likely only did it because the Russos told him it was inspired by/a tribute to Three Days Of The Condor.

And those two projects are the last ones he's acting in since he's also the producer on them.

What a shame. Then again hayao miyazaki says he’s retiring all the time and he always come back.

I suppose they could always recast him. They might have already done so

They couldn't recast Redford. His was such a publicised role (for the fact that you wouldn't expect Robert Redford to play in this type of film) that to now have someone else playing him would stick out and be very noticeable.

They recast Norton.

And I should explain further, not recast exactly, but cast a younger actor to play an earlier version of the character. I mean Robert is great but he couldn’t play a 20 year old lol

Anyway, I’ve been looking at 90s inspo this week and I found out something. Remember when nick fury was played by David Hasselhoff? That was in the 90s



Reckon they will reference it?

 

[Aximili86]

Probably would have already in Guardians 2, if they were going to do a tip-of-the-hat to it.

How could Alexander Pierce be only a 20 year old in the 1990s? The 90s was 20-25 years ago, not half a century ago. Was he only supposed to be 40 in Winter Soldier? Did he look 40 to you?

Because Redford is 81 now. He could certainly be de-aged to look in his 60s. Or even if he wasn't supposed to be nearly 80 in the film, he could still be de-aged to being in his 50s.

 

[Aximili86]

Yeah, on a technical level it'd be easy to de-age Redford, they've obviously done it before. It's more an issue of "he's 99.9999% not going to want to be in the movie".

Well, didn't he do Winter Soldier for his kids or grandkids? Maybe they'll beg him to do it again and he'll make an exception to his retirement just for them.

 

[Aximili86]

That's probably a part of it, yeah, but the other factor was probably the Russos have said their major film inspiration for TWS was Three Days Of The Condor, where Redford basically takes the Steve role.

Obviously we don't know one way or the other whether he'd want to come back or not, we're just saying he doesn't seem like the type of guy to do it.

 

[Dark Raven]

He was the last person I thought would be in a Marvel movie in the first place.

Now the only other two people I would never imagine being in one are Clint Eastwood and Daniel Day Lewis. DDL isn't quite from the same golden age of Hollywood like Redford or Eastwood though.

Robert was definitely exactly 40 years old, I’m an expert on ages. It’s like how Chris Evans is only 22 and Robert Downey jnr is roughly 90. And how old is Tom Holland even? I’m going to say...12.

 

[Silvermoth]

Do you reckon nick fury might be one of the people who wants to experiment on Mar-Vell? I reckon he is, or he’ll be one of the people who helps carol escape with him which turns him away from shield’s kind of shadowy stop a threat before it happens philosophy and onto maybe thinking about the age of heroes

 

[Web-Head]

Fury's gonna be popping up a lot in the MCU soon. Captain Marvel, probably something in Avengers 4, rumors that he might be in the Spider-Man sequel and then if Black Widow is a prequel, there's a good chance he'll be in that one.

It'll be nice to see more of him again since he's been underused in Phase 3. He should easily have been in CW after being shown helping get the Avenger's new compound up and running at the end of AoU.

 

[Aximili86]

God holy damn would I kill for a pre-S.H.I.E.L.D. Fury movie somewhere down the road. Probably have to do a re-cast rather than de-age digitally for the whole thing (but guess that might be an option in future, we know they're leaning more into that here with Captain Marvel), but like: 1968, Fury re-assembles the Howling Commandos in tribute to the original group, kickin' ass in Vietnam.

We need more of that Hank/Janet era, 70s and a little before, pretty much totally unexplored in the MCU as of now.
